The chalet has provided decades of memories for so many in our community, and we want to showcase what an amazing amenity we have in our own backyard. For over 50 years, on the heels of a failed ski resort, the Chalet has served many groups. From SuperPipe camp in the late 90s, to AST course and private rentals, The Chalet, which now primarily serves as an Alpine Learning Centre for Avalanche awareness and is managed by The BlackTusk Snowmobile Club through volunteers and community support, is a historic part of the Sea to Sky Corridor.
We invite everyone to come out, have fun in the snow and help support an important part of our backcountry.
